Orvis Reels

I am building 2 fly rods, a 4wt and 8wt, for our upcoming DU Banquet. I purchased an Orvis Battenkill Bar Stock 2-5 wt reel and loaded it with the Orvis Wonderline Generation 3, WF 4wt fly line. I also purchased an Orvis Battenkill Mid Arbor 7-8 wt reel and also loaded it with the Orvis Wonderline Generation 3, WF 8wt fly line. The fly rod kits were purchased through mudhole.com. The 4wt is an 8ft fly rod kit with a Matrix blank and the 8 wt is a 9ft Matrix blank. I will also be tying flys to round out the total package.
